ONE OF THE PROSPECTS THAT EXCITES ME MOST ABOUT BEING A STAY-AT-HOME-MOM NEXT YEAR IS THAT EVERY DAY I WILL START MY MORNING IN MY OWN HOME.
I NOW START MY MORNINGS BY PRESSING SNOOZE AT LEAST FOUR TIMES, SHOWERING FOR TOO LONG, TAKING WAY MORE TIME THAN I ACTUALLY HAVE TO GET READY, AND EATING MY BREAKFAST IN A FREEZING COLD CAR AS I DRIVE DOWN STATE STREET. THIS ASPECT OF MY LIFE WILL NOT BE MISSED.
I LOVE THE MORNINGS. AND I LOVE TO BE IN MY HOME FOR THIS SACRED TIME OF DAY.
BJ HATES THAT OUR CHURCH STARTS AT 12:30 THIS YEAR. I LOVE IT.
YESTERDAY I HAD TIME TO LAY IN BED AND WAKE UP SLOWLY. AFTER THAT I SAT ON THE COUCH AS I SLOWLY ATE MY BREAKFAST. I HAD TIME TO READ, WRITE, AND PONDER, AND OF COURSE, LOUNGE AROUND IN MY FAVORITE PLUSH BATHROBE.
I THINK EVERY DAY WOULD BE CHRISTMAS WORTHY IF THEY ALL COULD BEGIN LIKE THIS.
THE ANGELS SING ON MORNINGS LIKE THIS WHEN THE BLINDS ARE DRAWN OPEN.
I REMEMBER THE WAY MY DOG HUDU USED TO LIE ON THE GROUND IN THE SPOTS OF SUN THAT FLOODED THE CARPET IN THE MORNING. I REMEMBER ALWAYS FEELING ENVIOUS OF THE WAY HE COULD COMPLETELY SURRENDER HIMSELF TO THE ENJOYMENT OF THE MORNING AS I WAS CORRALLED OUT THE DOOR TO SCHOOL.
COME JUNE I WILL BE LIKE MY LITTLE DOG, BASKING EVERY DAY IN THE GLORY OF MORNING TIME.
Elle you kill me! Your mornings sound glorious! I was just telling Donny that it will be many many years from now that I can enjoy my mornings once again. Oh to go to bed when i want and wake up on my own seems like a distant dream not to mention long showers and hours wasted in front of the mirror primping. Come June I hope you are basking in morning sunshine!
